This scale armor cuirass with separate collar armor is crafted from hundreds of steel scales which are stitched onto a durable cotton backing - each scale is reinforced with a metal ring which connects it to the scale next to it. The inside of the armor is lined with cotton to prevent the stitching and rings from snagging onto clothing or padding worn beneath the armor. The armor is edged with stitched black leather to give it a robust and pliable frame. The armor is split at the sides which allow it to fit a wide range of larger sizes.
